Gareth David & Tom BromleyTo Tundra Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Meet me at St. Nicholas
Among the oaks, behind the church
That sway like pig-tailed girls as summer wind whistles
Around your bare-skin knees and the forsythia leaves
In the shade, lay with me
Tickled by the feather reed
That's where the trees grow old under the ivy's hold
As you in my two arms, equally safe from harm
And in a hazy day dream, our bodies married the stream
And we broke down into pebbles and silt
The water ran from the fields until the oceans we filled
And found the sea bed the comfiest quilt
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
There was more life in the weeds than in the few hundred seats
In rows from transept to chancel to nave
And when their anger had paused
I turned and answered their calls
With, "You're just audience, I'm the applause"
We take on the burden of all these sad-eyed children
With lilies bunched in our hands
We fake our concern and speak softly as the surgeon
Tells wife to cancel her plans
[Chorus]
Take a body to water, take a body to tundra
Just take me with you as well
Please take a body to water, take a body to tundra
Just take me with you as well

A Genuine Los Campesinos! Love Song. Set at the same cemetery as Who Fell Asleep In, where I used to work for pocket money between tours. It was one of my favourite places in the world and a proven good place for getting song ideas together in my head. The only disruption or distraction I’d face mig...
What can you tell us about the music in this song, Los Camp?
Tom said at the time…
“The ‘drum machine’ sounds on this are a Casio PT-1 kick and snare put through a Fuzz Factory and looped. A lot of the ambient sounds on the record are taken from the demos I made in my bedroom, because when you try and recreate things like that, you end up chasing something y...
